Turn What You Know Into What You Can Confidently Do
Pelvic health is a hands-on specialty. You can watch videos, study anatomy, read protocols, and understand the clinical reasoning. At some point you need guided practice with an experienced pelvic health clinician beside you.
PelviEd Live Hands-On Training gives you personalized instruction with Dr. Tara Sullivan. Practice examination and treatment techniques, receive immediate feedback, ask questions in real time, and build confidence before bringing those skills into patient care.
This Is Training Built Around You
This isn't a large continuing education course where everyone follows the same lab schedule. Your training is tailored to the areas where you want more confidence.
Maybe you've taken pelvic health coursework but still feel nervous performing an internal examination independently. Maybe you're comfortable with an exam but aren't sure what you're actually feeling during palpation. Maybe you can identify pelvic floor muscle tone but aren't confident deciding what to do next. Or maybe you've been treating pelvic health patients for years and want another experienced clinician to help refine your technique and clinical reasoning.
That's exactly what these sessions are designed for.
Sessions are shaped around you when you:
- Feel nervous performing an internal exam independently
- Aren't sure what you're feeling during palpation
- Can identify tone but aren't sure what to do next
- Want an experienced clinician to refine your technique
What Can We Work On?
Hands-on training is personalized based on your experience and clinical goals.
Sessions can also focus on specific clinical situations or skills you are currently struggling with.
Practice With Real-Time Feedback
One of the hardest parts of learning pelvic health isn't understanding what you're supposed to do. It's knowing whether you're actually doing it correctly. During hands-on training, Dr. Tara provides immediate feedback on questions like these.
These are the details that are difficult to learn from a textbook or recorded course alone. Hands-on practice connects the anatomy, clinical reasoning, and treatment concepts you've learned to the actual experience of examining and treating a patient.
Learn More Than the Technique
Being technically capable of performing an internal examination is only part of becoming an excellent pelvic health clinician. You also need to know how to make the experience feel safe, professional, intentional, and comfortable for the patient.
Training includes communication throughout the entire process, from explaining why an examination may be helpful and obtaining informed consent, to giving instructions during the examination and explaining your findings afterward.
The goal isn't simply to perform an examination. It's to become confident in leading a patient through one.
You'll practice language that helps patients understand:
- What you're assessing
- Why you're assessing it
- What they should expect
- What sensations are normal
- How they can communicate during the examination
- What their findings mean
- How findings connect to symptoms and treatment

- Clinical reasoning and case review
- Treatment planning and documentation
- Patient communication and consent language
- Preparing for your first pelvic health patients
$350 for 2 hours + $125/hour additional
Small-Group Hands-On Training
Learn alongside colleagues in a supportive small-group environment. Practice skills while learning from the questions, observations, and clinical experiences of others.
- Clinic teams
- Coworkers beginning pelvic health together
- PelviEd members who want to train together
- Groups looking for customized pelvic health education
- Practices adding pelvic health services

Who Is This For?
Live Hands-On Training is appropriate for clinicians across the pelvic health learning spectrum.
New to Pelvic Health
You've completed coursework, or you're currently learning, but haven't had enough opportunities to practice. We'll help you turn theory into practical skills.
Beginning to Treat Patients
You're seeing your first pelvic health patients and discovering all the questions that don't come up until you're actually in the treatment room. Bring them.
Building Confidence
You know the basics but still find yourself wondering if you're feeling what you think you're feeling, or using the right amount of pressure. This is where guided practice makes a real difference.
Experienced Clinicians
Hands-on mentorship isn't only for beginners. Use these sessions to refine examination techniques, troubleshoot challenging cases, explore additional treatment strategies, and get another clinician's perspective.
The Goal: Confidence Through Competence
Confidence in pelvic health shouldn't come from simply completing a course. It should come from knowing:
- —I've practiced this.
- —I know what I'm feeling.
- —I understand what it means.
- —I know what to do next.
- —I know how to communicate with my patient throughout the process.
PelviEd Live Hands-On Training is designed to close the gap between learning pelvic health and actually practicing pelvic health.
Your Training. Your Questions. Your Skill Level.
There is no expectation that you arrive knowing everything. That's the point.
- Bring the skills you want to practice.
- Bring the techniques you aren't confident about.
- Bring the questions you were afraid to ask in a large course.
- Bring the patient scenarios that have you second-guessing yourself.
We'll start where you are and build from there.
